1 - Introduction

1.1 What is an emulator?
---
An emulator is a virtual-copy of a physical device (in terms of this
document, an 8-bit or 16-bit Apple computer). Early home computers
contained a number of basic hardware components - the ROM (hard-coded
software, like a computer-game cartridge), the RAM (writeable application
memory) and the CPU (the microprocessor which executes machine-language
programs). The original instruction-set of the Apple's CPU is duplicated at
the core of the emulator as software, and around this is built further
emulation of storage devices (usually disk-drives) and translation so that
the virtual-machine can use your physical computer's keyboard, display
screen, RAM and sound features. Along with a software copy of the ROM (see
below) the emulator can use the resources of your physical computer to
mimic an Apple!
If the concept of emulation sounds too good to be true - that's probably
because it is. Emulators can use a large percentage of your physical
computer's resources during operation. Efficient emulation of the Apple on
modern machines is really only possible because of the expanding power of
computers. At this point, it takes the processing power of a 486DX2/66 or
68030 CPU to comfortably emulate a 1MHz 6502 (the CPU of the 8-bit Apple
][). The 16-bit IIgs emulators coming into use now need the latest
processors (Pentium or PowerPC chips).
---
1.2 What are disk-images?
---
Apple II 5.25" diskettes are not compatible with that 5.25" floppy in the
front of your PC. Period.
A disk-image is a track-by-track copy of a physical diskette made to a
fixed volume as a software file; basically there is little difference
between it and a compressed archive (eg. a PKZIP or StuffIt file). In
everyday use, this is useful because of a number of factors - an "image" of
a diskette retains more information than an archived copy (eg. volume name,
original file dates), physical diskettes may become defective, it makes
duplication of master-diskettes easier, disk-images can be stored on hard-
disks eliminating the need for unwieldy numbers of diskettes, etc. All of
the modern computing platforms use disk-images for storing and transferring
disks over electronic networks (such as the Internet). Apple distributes
its system software in DiskCopy image format (which is compatible with
programs such as ShrinkWrap and MountImage allowing the image to be
accessed like a real disk from the Finder). The PC uses WinImage (which is
compatible with DiskCopyFast in DOS). Finally, the Amiga uses DiskMasher
images. None of these image types are compatible with each other.
Emulators use disk-images for a totally different purpose. Whereas modern
computers use images to transfer physical diskettes electronically,
emulators use disk-images because the original media is not compatible with
the modern disk drives. Although the diskette media itself is the same, the
method used to store data on it is totally different. Disk-images are used
to trick the emulator software into thinking that there is an Apple ][
disk-drive attached (unlike modern software, most Apple ][ applications
could not be installed onto a hard-drive and were dependent on the 140K
diskette structure to operate). Unlike the different types of images above,
emulator images can be used on any computer. There are six types of Apple
][ disk-images, of which three are standard to virtually every emulator on
every platform... But why have more than one type of disk-image to emulate
an Apple disk-drive? Because any disk-drive can access the information on a
diskette in a number of ways. An Apple ][ drive alone supports DOS and
ProDOS structuring, as well as a Nibble format which included half and
quarter tracks used in some software as copy-protection. These are the
three main types which are standard to most emulators.
For further information on disk-images, please refer to Chapter 6 of this
guide.
---
1.3 - The Apple ROMs
---
According to the 'Apple II User's Guide', the read-only memory (ROM)
"contents never change, even when you turn the power off. ROM contains the
programs which give the Apple II its unique identity and enables it to
understand and respond appropriately to the commands you type in at the
keyboard." (p.4) Every computer contains ROMs, and understandably, they are
copyrighted by the manufacturer. As such, many of the emulator packages
listed below do not include the ROMs required to emulate an Apple ][. ROMs
can be duplicated from your original Apple computer in the form of binary
files - usually the Apple, disk-drive and serial ROMs. Instructions for
saving the information from the ROMs into binary files can be found in the
text file "dumping-ROMs" available on wilbur. Emulator packages which do
not include the ROMs often include instructions on dumping ROMs. This
information is specifically indicated in the descriptions below. As an
aside, the main Apple ROMs are included on the original DOS3.3 System
Master Disk, in the "FPBASIC" and "INTBASIC" machine language files.

2.2 Apple Macintosh Platform
---
HINT: Having trouble transferring files from a Macintosh to a ProDOS disk
with PC Exchange? Try setting the file’s creator to ‘pdos’ and the type to
'BINA' using ResEdit (or install the Snitch extension to allow filetype
altering in Finder "Get Info" windows). This will prevent the creation of a
forked file on the ProDOS disk (ie. it will transfer the data fork only,
and not the Macintosh resource fork). It should not be necessary to change
the ProDOS file type further if the file is a disk-image or ShrinkIt
archive. If the file is text, substitute the file type 'TEXT' for 'BINA'.

AUTHOR: Randy Brandt <rbJEM@aol.com> & Mike Munz <munz@wordperfect.com>.
STATUS: Development in progress.
SHORT DESCRIPTION: An AppleWorks emulator for 68K and PPC Macintoshes -
literally, an "Apple II emulation engine", which requires AppleWorks 5.
From a post on "comp.sys.apple2": "It supports most TimeOut applications,
including UltraMacros. It also tightly integrates AppleWorks 5 and the Mac
environment. This includes automatic conversion between Macintosh and
AppleWorks clipboards, being able to traverse through your Macintosh hard
disk (no Prodos partition required), and macro commands to access Mac
functions (like speaking text, dialing). And if you have PCExchange (or
System 7.5), it will read Apple II 3.5" disks as well. It, however, is not
a generic emulator".
MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS: 68K or PowerPC Macintosh running System 7 and above;
AppleWorks 5.
FURTHER REFERENCE: None.

AUTHOR: Dave Lyons and Andy Nicholas (Apple Computer, Inc.)
STATUS: Pre-release.
SHORT DESCRIPTION: Gus is an Apple in-house project which should allow
fully transparent IIgs emulation on Macintosh. Apparently, the emulation
speed is quite fast, working approximately four to five times the speed of
a real IIgs if speed regulation is turned off.
ROMS: N/A.

AUTHOR: W. Sheldon Simms III <sheldon@atlcom.net>.
STATUS: Source code released for public modification.
SHORT DESCRIPTION: An Apple //e emulator for 68K Macintoshes. The binhexed
Think C 7.0 code was posted to "comp.emulators.apple2" on 5 July 1995.
According to the author's accompanying message, it is an "emulator that
boots into basic. I don't have time to work on it now so I'm posting the
source in case anyone else wants to mess with it. It has a 65816 emulator
(well 65802 really)...There's no documentation other than internal
documentation."
ROMS: MacE comes with the necessary Apple //e ROMs and is ready for use
after decompression.
DISK-IMAGE FORMAT: DOS3.3 order (DO - size: 143360 bytes); there also seems
to be an Icon resource for virtual hard-disk volumes in the code, but
whether or not this is supported is unknown.
DISK-IMAGE RESOURCE INFO:
File Creator: 'MacE', File Type: 'DSK5' (5.25" images)
File Creator: 'MacE', File Type: 'DSKB' (hard-drive)
MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS: "Desktop" (colour) Macintosh - including Power
Macintosh models. Will not work on "compact" (B&W) Macintoshes.

AUTHOR: Achim Breidenbach <achim@boinx.com>.
STATUS: Development in progress.
SHORT DESCRIPTION: Sim6502 emulates an Apple I, and was developed to
commemorate the works of Steven Wozniak. Although the Apple I does not have
a BASIC interpreter, there are several sample codes included in the
archive. The 6502 decimal mode is not emulated.

0851r.hqx
AUTHOR: Kevin Lund <kevin@locutus.ucr.edu> & Jim Nitchals
<jimn8@netcom.com>.
STATUS: See STM v0.881r.
SHORT DESCRIPTION: Stop The Madness emulates a 64K Apple ][+, and allows
disk-swapping. Although it cannot "save" (write information to a disk
image) a small program called Save The Madness can be used simultaneously
with STM (under Multifinder or System 7), writing altered disk-image files
(see below). STM comes with the DOS 3.3 System Master disk-image "pre-
installed" into virtual drive one.
ROMS: STM comes with the necessary Apple ][+ ROMs and is ready for use
after decompression.
DISK-IMAGE FORMAT: DOS3.3 order (DO - size: 143360 bytes).
DISK-IMAGE RESOURCE INFO:
File Creator: 'A2EM', File Type: 'DSK5' (5.25" images)
MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS: "Desktop" (colour) Macintosh - including Power
Macintosh models. Runs ONLY in 256-colours! Will not display a picture on
"compact" (B&W) Macintoshes.
NOTE: On desktop Macintoshes, you must set the "Colors" control panel to
256-colors, as STM does not support higher colour modes. This problem has
erroneously been interpreted as non-compatibility of the emulator with some
Macintoshes.

AUTHOR: Kevin Lund <kevin@locutus.ucr.edu> & Jim Nitchals
<jimn8@netcom.com>.
STATUS: Unknown.
SHORT DESCRIPTION: Stop The Madness emulates a 64K Apple ][+, and allows
disk-swapping. Version 0.881r (formerly known as 0.872d) is far more
versatile than the previous version; configurable "modules" allow expansion
limited only by available memory - for example, STM can support four Disk
II drives. Additionally, STM can now "save" disk-images (see below). STM
comes with the DOS 3.3 System Master disk-image "pre-installed" into
virtual drive one.
ROMS: STM comes with the necessary Apple ][+ ROMs and is ready for use
after decompression.
DISK-IMAGE FORMAT: DOS3.3 order (DO - size: 143360 bytes), and non-standard
"pre-nibbleized". This second type is the only format the Disk II module
will save images into. From the documentation: "this format is bulkier than
the '.DSK' format, and has no cross-platform compatibility, but is more
flexible, allowing non-standard formats and 1/4 track resolution." Version
1.00 of SaveTM (see below) is also compatible with STM 0.881r for those who
prefer standard disk-image output.
DISK-IMAGE RESOURCE INFO:
File Creator: 'A2EM', File Type: 'DSK5' (5.25" images)
MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS: "Desktop" (colour) Macintosh - including Power
Macintosh models - with System 7. Runs ONLY in 256-colours! Will not
display a picture on "compact" (B&W) Macintoshes.
NOTE: On desktop Macintoshes, you must set the "Colors" control panel to
256-colors, as STM does not support higher colour modes. This problem has
erroneously been interpreted as non-compatibility of the emulator with some
Macintoshes.

AUTHOR: Vincent Tan <VincentTan@kagi.com> & Victor Tan.
STATUS: Development in progress.
SHORT DESCRIPTION: IIe emulates an Apple //e. Excerpted from the text file:
"IIe is a fully functional Apple //e emulator that supports all of the
graphics modes, all of the Apple //e keyboard keys, and all of the
currently available Apple II disk image formats. You can even access your
3.5" Apple II disks from your Mac's floppy disk drive! This version can
also access any ProDOS partitions on your Mac's hard disk, and it can even
save ProDOS files directly in any of your Mac's folders!" From the WWW
page: "The next version will have sound card support. There is no expected
date of release at this time."
ROMS: IIe does not come with the necessary Apple //e ROMs. The missing ROM
is the main Apple ROM ("APPLE2E.ROM"). The instructions suggest using
ApplePC's //e ROM:
ftp://ftp.apple.asimov.net/pub/apple_II/emulators/rom_images/apple_IIe_rom.zi
p
DISK-IMAGE FORMAT: DOS3.3 order (DO - size: 143360 bytes); the emulator can
also read 3.5" ProDOS disks directly from the Macintosh 800K/1.44Mb
drive(s). 3.5" disk-images (Apple images in Apple DiskCopy format AND plain
ProDOS-order images) and virtual hard-drive (.HDV) files are also
supported.

2.2.11 //e Card for Macintosh LC
------
AVAILABILITY: Commercial product, no longer in production.
AUTHOR: Apple Computer.
STATUS: Development ceased.
SHORT DESCRIPTION: The LC //e Card is a combination hardware/software
package which emulates an enhanced Apple //e, accelerated to 1.9 Mhz,
monochrome, colour or inverse video, custom beep sound, RAM card, two super
serial cards, a "printer" card (spools to Chooser device), clock, SmartPort
card, AppleTalk card, Mouse card and extended 80-column card. Hardware is
attached via a special connector with ports for a 9-pin joystick and a
SmartPort drive (up to two 5.25" and one 3.5"). Files can easily be
transferred between Macintosh and ProDOS hard-disk partitions using
standard drag-and-drop copying (file copied to the ProDOS partition appear
on fixed volume within the emulator). The problem of creating "forked
files" is avoided by using the Resource Info below. Further installation,
use and troubleshooting articles are available from the Apple Technical
Information Library (search for "iie").

AVAILABILITY: Commercial product, no longer in production.
AUTHOR: COMPUTER:applications
12813 Lindeley Drive
Raleigh, NC 27614.
STATUS: Development ceased.
SHORT DESCRIPTION: ][ in a Mac is a package which emulates an Apple //e.
Functionally, it is probably similar to it's PC counterpart, "][ in a PC"
(see below) with the following exceptions: it runs at sixty percent of the
standard //e speed (on a MacPlus), uses only a portion of the Mac screen,
has no colour support and limited graphics, no "real" joystick, doesn't
handle copy-protected software, and can create problems with keyboard
translation and modem port detection on some Macintoshes.
ROMS: N/A.
DISK-IMAGE FORMAT: ProDOS3.3 Order (PO - size: 143360 bytes); the emulator
can also read 3.5" ProDOS disks (usually 800K) directly from the Macintosh
internal or external drive(s).
DISK-IMAGE RESOURCE INFO:
File Creator: 'CAI1', File Type: 'DISK' (5.25" images)
MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS: MacPlus or SE. Some older versions of the software
didn't run on the Mac II line. The software will not display colour even on
colour Macintosh systems.

STATUS: Further development ceased. The author posted a message to
comp.sys.amiga.emulations stating that he will no longer be doing anything
for the Amiga, therefore V1.3 is the last version.
SHORT DESCRIPTION: Apple 2000 emulates a 64K Apple ][+, allowing loading
(Right-Amiga-L) from and saving (Right-Amiga-S) to DDD Apple compressed
disk archives from any Amiga device. All video modes are available (Text,
LoRes, HiRes and mixed), along with a two button joystick. Apple 2000 is
able to instantly load and run Apple files from any Amiga device (without
"disk-booting"). The emulator supports Amiga multi-tasking. Version 1.3
introduces a number of improvements in the emulator; be sure to read the
documentation.
ROMS: Apple 2000 does not come with the necessary ROMs. The missing ROMs
are the disk-drive ROMs ("_DISK.ROM") and main Apple ROMs ("_APPLE.ROM") -
these ROMs can be copied from your old Apple ][ by following the procedures
in the "Apple 2000.doc" text file included with the package.

SHORT DESCRIPTION: Apple ][+ Emulator for Linux "is partly written in 386
(AT&T) assembler and partly in C. You can switch diskettes using a diskette
database through an intuitive interface. Furthermore, it is possible to
trim the speed of the emulator and it runs in full speed (approximately)
twice as fast as an standard Apple II+ on a 486DX-50...[It uses] the
svgalib's key scancodes. I've also taken the opportunity to implement the
undocumented 6502 instructions. I've noticed that at least two games use
these undocumented instrucions; Bug Attack and MS Pacman. Currently I have
transfered about 40 diskettes to my emulator and all programs/games seem to
work" (from a post on "comp.emulators.apple2"). Requires compiling (C
source code).
ROMS: Apple ][+ Emulator for Linux does not come with the necessary Apple
][+ ROMs. The missing ROMs are the main Apple ROM ("apple_II.rom") and
disk-controller ROM ("slot6.rom") - these ROMs can be copied from your
Apple //e by following the instructions in the README file accompanying the
archive.
ftp://ftp.apple.asimov.net/pub/apple_II/emulators/rom_images/apple.rom
DISK-IMAGE FORMAT: DOS3.3 order (DO - size: 143360 bytes).
MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS: SVGA lib version 1.2.9 (or later) - tested under
1.2.10. Kernel 1.0 (or later) - tested under 2.0.28. libc 4.4.4 (or later)

7, Drive 1) - thus eliminating the need for disk-images. Put the ProDOS
files (such as BASIC.SYSTEM or SHRINKIT) in the same directory as the
emulator; under the emulator the current directory appears as a disk named
/UNIX at S7,D1. Requires compiling (C source code).
ROMS: ProDOS Emulator does not come with the necessary Apple //e ROMs. The
missing ROM is the main Apple ROM ("apple.rom") - these ROMs can be copied

2.9.1 Applemu (Apple Emu)
-----
AVAILABILITY: Available for free download from:
ftp://ftp.uni-kl.de/pub/apple2/ibmpc/applemu.zip
AUTHOR: Unknown.
STATUS: Development ceased.
SHORT DESCRIPTION: Applemu emulates a 48K Apple ][+, and allows disk-
swapping. Disk-images are "saved" to directly on the hard-disk from within
the emulator. An option to write protect the disk-image being loaded into
either drive is offered. The function keys control disk-swapping routines.
Unfortunately, most of the more advanced Apple software requires a 64K
machine, and thus will not load on Applemu.
ROMS: Applemu comes with the necessary Apple ][+ ROMs and is ready for use
after decompression. The Apple ROMs are stored in "APPLBIOS.COM".
NOTE: To run Intbasic programs, get the "INTBASIC.COM" file, rename
"APPLBIOS.COM" as "FPBASIC.COM", and then rename "INTBASIC.COM" as
"APPLBIOS.COM".
DISK-IMAGE FORMAT: Nibblized Dos Order (NDO - size: 232960 bytes).
MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS: 80286 cpu with CGA graphics (recommended) - according
to the documentation, any PC with "128K memory, DOS 2.0 or greater",
although on a 4.77 MHZ 8088 it takes almost a minute to boot a disk.

SHORT DESCRIPTION: ApplePC emulates a 128K Apple //c. From a post by the
author on "comp.emulators.apple2": "It is extremely fast, has true 'pixel-
perfect' graphics (switchable between mono and colour), a built-in
debugger, and disk-swapping." The emulator will work with it's own (non-
standard) //c, //e files and Applewin's //e ROM file - to provide
additional software compatibility. From v2.00a it also uses Applewin's ][+
ROM to supply an Apple ][+ mode.
ROMS: ApplePC comes with the necessary Apple ROMs, which are supplied in
separate files for the //c and //e ROMs.

SHORT DESCRIPTION: Apl2Em emulates a 64K Apple][+, but does not allow disk-
swapping whilst in use. Disk-images are "saved" to directly on the hard-
disk from within the emulator. This means that although Apl2Em can run all
of the 64K multi-disk software that Applemu cannot, you can only pre-load
two disks (D1 and D2).

AUTHOR: Randy Spurlock <randys@gocart.eng.hou.compaq.com>.
STATUS: See Apl2Em-3.
SHORT DESCRIPTION: Apl2Em-2 emulates a 64K Apple ][+, but does not allow
disk-swapping whilst in use. Disk-images are "saved" to directly on the
hard-disk from within the emulator. This means that although Apl2Em can run
all of the 64K multi-disk software that Applemu cannot, you can only pre-
load two disks (D1 and D2).
NOTE: Some people have found a way to "swap" disk-image files whilst the
emulator is running by using the multi-tasking abilities of Windows or
OS/2. It would be a case of moving the "SYSTEM.DSK" file (or whatever the
default DSK name is for D1) out of the A2EM directory and replacing it with
a subsequent disk (also titled "SYSTEM.DSK"). A routine to handle disk-
swapping under OS/2 is available (see below).
ROMS: Apl2Em-2 does not come with the necessary Apple ][+ ROMs. The missing
ROMs are the main Apple ROMs ("APPLE.ROM") and disk-drive ROMs
("FLOPPY.ROM") - these ROMs can be copied from your old Apple ][ by
following the procedures in the "dumping-ROMs" text file on wilbur. You
don't really need the Serial ROMs to use Apl2Em-2 - just edit the
"APPLE.INI" file at Slot 1 to read "Type=Empty".

STATUS: Source code released for public modification.
SHORT DESCRIPTION: AppleWin is a 32-bit Windows program which emulates a
"Platinum" model enhanced Apple //e with 128k RAM. It supports all video
modes, including double high-res and mixed mode. It plays sound through a
sound card (preferred) or the PC speaker. It supports emulating an Apple
joystick using the PC keyboard, joystick, or mouse. It allows saving to
disk images and on-the-fly swapping of disk images.
There are two versions of AppleWin, both included in the ZIP file:
applew31.exe -- Use this version if you are running Windows 3.1 or Windows
for Workgroups. You must also install the Win32s 32-bit
extensions, which are available from the same FTP site.
applewin.exe -- Use this version if you are running Windows 95 or Windows
NT.
It is recommended that you switch your video card to 256-color mode for
best performance when running AppleWin. If you are having trouble using
AppleWin with your video driver, or trouble formatting disks under
AppleWin, obtain and install "patch2.zip" which is available from the same
FTP site.
If you do not have a joystick driver for Windows, you can obtain
"ibmjoy.zip" from the FTP site. Remember to calibrate your joystick using
the Windows Control Panel before using it in AppleWin.
By default, AppleWin controls its emulation speed so that it runs exactly
as fast as a real Apple //e. If you would like for it to run as fast as
possible on your system, click on the Configuration button (on the bottom)
and turn off the "control system speed" option.
Versions 1.00 and 1.10 are faster and includes speed control, modem
support, and monochrome monitor emulation. Version 1.00 requires Windows
95 or NT (not Win32s). And both now come with source code!
ROMS: AppleWin comes with the necessary Apple ][+ and //e ROMs, stored in
"APPLE2.ROM" and "APPLE2E.ROM".
DISK-IMAGE FORMAT: DOS3.3, ProDOS and nibblized orders (auto-detecting).
MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS: 80486 or better running Windows 95, Windows NT 3.5,
or Windows 3.1 (Windows 3.1 requires Win32s).
FURTHER REFERENCES: "README.TXT" (Text file included in the archive).
Online help available from within AppleWin.

SHORT DESCRIPTION: Manzana emulates an Apple //e for Windows 95/NT. From
the homepage: "This program is based on GNU source for binary emulation.
Unlike the other current freeware/shareware apple emulators, this has many
special features. The first feature is the fact that emulated Apple
programs will be able to print on the IBM-PC. To do this, it uses the
default Windows print driver, and translates the Apple programs'
ImageWriter codes. The other main feature is that Manzana will be able to
read Apple //e disks. It will still however support the standard "DSK"
format. This program is still in a primordial state. Therefore it will take
a while before a copy is posted."

AUTHOR: Kent Dickey <kentd@mtnweb.com>.
STATUS: Development in progress.
SCREENSHOTS:
http://www.mtnweb.com/~kentd/screenshots.html
SHORT DESCRIPTION: KEGS emulates a 4MB Apple //gs. Excerpted from the
"README.kegs" text file: "Fast 65816 emulation (about 6MHz on a 712/80, and
15MHz on a C180). Emulates low-level 5.25" and 3.5" drive accesses (even
nibble-copiers work!). Emulates classic Apple II sound and 32-voice Ensoniq
sound. All sound is played in 16-bit stereo at 48KHz. Emulates all Apple
//gs graphics modes, including border effects. Can handle mixed-displays
(superhires at the top, lores at the bottom). Mouse and joystick support
(although the joystick is hard to use). Emulates all Apple //gs memory
"tricks" for full compatibility. Low-level ADB keyboard and mouse emulation
enables Wolfenstein 3D to run. Clock chip emulation makes the Unix time
available to the Apple //gs. Emulated battery RAM remembers control panel
settings...KEGS is so accurate, even the built-in ROM selftests pass (you
must be in 2.5MHz speed mode to pass the self-tests)...KEGS boots s7d1 by
default. You can change this using the emulated control panel, just like a
real Apple //gs. KEGS emulates a //gs with two 5.25" drives in slot 6, two
3.5" drives in slot 5, and up to 32 "hard drives" in slot 7." The archive
contains an executable as well as C source code.
ROMS: KEGS does not include the necessary ROM; it needs to be provided in
the form of a file called "ROM" in the KEGS directory. It can be either
from a ROM 01 (131072 bytes) or from a ROM 03 machine (262144 bytes).

ftp://ftp.apple.asimov.net/pub/apple_II/emulators/rom_images/GSRom01.zip
ftp://ftp.apple.asimov.net/pub/apple_II/emulators/rom_images/gsrom03.zip
DISK-IMAGE FORMAT: "Raw" format of any size, with no header or compression,
including standard DOS3.3 Order (DO - size: 143360 bytes). A file named
"disk_conf" in the KEGS directory tells the emulator the virtual location
of the disk-image.
MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS: HP series 9000/700 workstations. Will not compile on
other platforms (Macintosh/PC) or even other Unix versions since the 65816
interpreter is written in PA-RISC assembly code. The C-only version is
portable to other machines.

For older versions see 2.14 Old versions of YAE below.
AUTHOR: Doug Kwan <ctkwan@cs.hku.hk>.
STATUS: Beta testing.
SHORT DESCRIPTION: YAE emulates an Apple //e. This is the source code of
the basic emulator without the compiler. Because of the work in IIe
emulation, the dynamic compiler in this version is disabled. From the
author's website: "I have re-written the video emulation of YAE to make use
of the MIT-SHM shared memory extention of X11 to produce better graphics.
The new video driver is optimized for a typical 32 bit workstation with an
8-bit pseudo colour display. Therefore the new version is *NOT* portable
but the above set-up (32-bit CPU, 8-bit display and MIT-SHM) is quite
common in the UNIX community and I will also write a generic but slower
version later." Requires compiling.

2.14 Old versions of YAE (Yet Another Apple ][ Emulator)
----
Excerpted from a message from Doug Kwan (thanks for the e-mail! - Alex):
"The name of the emulator is now YAE (Yet another Apple ][ Emulator) though
the virtual machine for the XXX platform is still called apple2.XXX.
Sources of the basic emulator (w/o the compiler), is now available. The
file 'yae.tar.gz' is a compressed tar file containing the source codes."
From a post by Doug Kwan on "comp.emulators.apple2" (6 Aug 1994):

3.1 Emulator & Software Sites
---
A NOTE ABOUT DISK-IMAGES - Like the Apple ][ ROMs, disk-images are
duplicates of copyrighted material; as a result, few FTP sites feel that
they can legally maintain copies of such software. However, from a
commercial point of view, the majority of said software is no longer for
sale (notable exceptions include the Ultima and Infocom series) and most of
the companies themselves no longer exist. Basically, the software in it's
original format would not be commercially viable EXCEPT to the emulator
market, but the Apple ][ community still exists to a greater extent than
the C64 and Spectrum platforms (which both possess FTP sites of disk-image
software) so the capacity to transfer disk-images BACK to the Apple
computer is seen as a possible source of software piracy. Some Apple ][
software has been released into the public domain, is free or Shareware:
these include the Eamon adventure series amongst others. Most of this type
of software is, however, not in disk-image format and can be found on the
Apple II FTP sites below.

Adventure Game List - "This page contains my index to all adventure games
produced over the years. Of course, no such list can ever be complete for a
number of reasons. To begin with, the distinction between what is an
adventure and what is not is not clear. It's also not meaningful to list
every last adventure game ever written, but only those that actually
reached a reasonable audience. What constitutes a "reasonable audience" is,
of course, also debatable." Maintained by Hans Persson

4 - Compression Techniques
-
HINT: Want to decompress Apple II "*.shk" archives on a PC or Mac and don’t
have the software? Just import the archive into a disk-image (see in
"ADDING/REMOVING FILES" in Chapter 7), run your favourite emulator and use
ShrinkIt!
The list of extensions below will indicate what format the compression or
translation is; from there refer to the "compression" document for cross-
platform applications or executables. For Apple ][ compression formats
(which are not covered here) check Section 5 in Part 3 of "The Apple II
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)".

.zip PK Zip (PC) - transfer as a binary file ['ZIP '/'pZIP']
.zoo Zoo (Amiga/PC) - transfer as a binary file ['Booz'/'ZOO ']
[Square brackets] denote Macintosh file creator/type information .
* These formats are translators; uuencoding (*.uue) and binhexing (*.hqx)
are used to convert binary files into text files so that they can be posted
to a binary newsgroup or e-mailed. Binscii (*.bsc) is a similar process for
the Apple ][; use "Shrink II" on the Macintosh (see below). The BinHex 5.0
format (*.bin) is Macintosh-specific; it is used to append the file/type
creator information to the file in the first 128 bytes. Although emulators
such as AppleWin can read disks with the MacBinary header, for
compatibility with other emulators it is often better to remove the header.
On the PC, use "bin2dsk" or "mactopc".
ftp://ftp.apple.asimov.net/pub/apple_II/utility/Bin2dsk.zip
ftp://wilbur.stanford.edu/pub/apple2/incoming/mactopc.exe
# These formats are single-file compressors - the other compressors on the
list compress AND archive. Consequently, *.Z and *.gz are often used in
conjunction with other archivers, primarily Tar (*.tar), resulting in the
following: "filename.tar.gz" or "filename.tar.Z". Usually easier to remove
on a Unix platform prior to download (use "uncompress" or "gzip" to
extract).
$ Okay, so I said I wasn't going to cover Apple ][ formats... Use "Nulib"
by Andy McFadden <fadden@uts.amdahl.com> for the PC or Unix to extract
shrunk disk-images (usually shown by *.SDK rather than *.SHK) or files from
this type of archive. For Macintosh users, EGO Systems provide a commercial
product called "Shrink II" which can create/extract NuFX/ShrinkIt archives
and other Apple ][ formats. Cost: US$39.95, from EGO Systems, 7918 Cove
Ridge Rd., Hixson, TN 37343. Phone: 1-800-662-3634. Additionally, Matthew
Russotto <russotto@pond.com> compiled "A2dearc", a Macintosh dearchiver for
*.SHK, *.QQ and *.HQX files.

ftp://ftp.apple.asimov.net/pub/apple_II/utility/A2dearc.gz
http://www.hypermall.com/ego (EGO Systems product information & ordering)
IMPORTANT NOTE: Where a filename possesses two or more extensions (eg.
"filename.tar.gz" or "filename.sit.hqx") ALWAYS download the file according
to the LAST extension (ie. if the last extension is .uue then it is safe to
download it as text). If in doubt, download it as a BINARY file. When
processing, start at the LAST extension and work inwards. Remember, if
using a PC, it is only possible to have one extension visible in the
filename at a time.

5 - Creating/extracting disk-images
-
Eager PC-owners have no doubt turned quickly to this section to learn how
to read Apple ][ disks in their 5.25" drives... Well, you can't. Basically,
PC drives and Apple drives use different encoding techniques. Check out
Section 5.10 in Part 3 of "The Apple II Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)"
guide for more information. But don't panic! Follow this easy two step
guide to creating disk-images, and transferring them to the required
computer. The following steps apply only to standard DOS, ProDOS and
compatible disks (those that can be copied by "Copya"). More detailed
instructions are usually given in the archive packages. To transfer ROMs or
text files (or indeed any file from an Apple ][), just substitute those
files in place of the disk-images in the following examples.
These instructions are primarily intended for creating disk-images of
5.25" diskettes (usually software for 8-bit Apples). With the advent of
IIgs emulators, it has become necessary to transfer 800K ProDOS disks. Once
again, although these disks are the same media as 720K DOS disks, they are
not compatible with PC disk drives. The easiest method to create an 800K
disk-image for IIgs emulators on non-Macintosh platforms is to use a
Macintosh (which read 800K ProDOS disks as standard) and make a DiskCopy
image. This image can then be converted for use with XGS on non-Macintosh
platforms (see the 2IMG disk-image format below).
---
5.1 Creating Disk-Images
---
There are several methods of creating disk-images, depending upon either
personal preference or (more likely) the Apple ][ hardware you have
available. The minimum required is an Apple ][ with at least two 5.25" disk
drives and a serial card (preferably capable of running ProDOS). It is
possible to read an image from a 5.25" drive and transfer it at the same
time (if you only have one 5.25" drive, for example). This is covered in
5.2.1, in which case you may skip 5.1.
The options for creating a disk-image are broken up as follows:
5.1.1 creating segmented disk-images (if you only have two 5.25" drives),
5.1.2 creating whole disk-images (if you have a storage device larger than
141K, such as a hard-drive or 800K drive)
5.1.3 creating shrunk disk-images (similar to 5.1.1 but requires extraction
software)
5.1.1 Creating segmented disk-images - The largest obstacle to creating a
disk-image is storing the resulting file prior to transfer. Unless you own
a 3.5" drive, hard-drive or have enough RAM on your Apple to store the
file, then segmenting the disk-image will permit its storage over multiple
volumes. This is useful, for example, in reading a 5.25" disk in Slot 6
Drive 1 and storing it in two (or more) parts on disks in Slot 6 Drive 2.
"DSK2FILE v5.0" by Ron Kneusel <rkneusel@post.its.mcw.edu> offers
segmentation as an option. It will automatically prompt for a ProDOS
pathname and filename prior to start and halfway through the operation,
thus creating two files. The "CHOP" application (for MSDOS and Macintosh, C
source code for Unix) by the same author can be used to reassemble the
disk-image on other platforms. Alternatively, "Diskread" by Damon J. Rand
<D.Rand@cantva.canterbury.ac.nu>, is a DOS 3.3 BASIC application which
allows the user to specify start and end tracks for segmentation (useful
for varying the size of output files). Similarly, the DOS 3.3 program
"Diskdump" by David A. Curran <curran@titan.ucs.umass.edu> will segment a
DOS 3.3 disk into eight binary files over two disks. The resulting files
from both programs can be rejoined by using the "copy" command under MSDOS
or concatenated by any usual method for binary files on any platform (check
the documentation for further details).

5.1.2 Creating whole disk-images - If your Apple system has enough RAM, a
3.5" drive, Appleshare volume or hard-disk, then you can store a disk-image
in its entirety prior to transfer. The versatile "DSK2FILE v5.0" by Ron
Kneusel <rkneusel@post.its.mcw.edu> can be used to create whole DOS or
ProDOS order disk-images. "Image" by Randy Shackelford
<shack@crash.cts.com> is a faster ProDOS program which creates DOS order
disk-images only. "RTRK" by Andrew Kingdom <agk@ausom.oz.au> will write
disk-images from 5.25" disks to larger volumes. "Asimov" by Jesse Blue
<ug0a@rzstud.rz.uni-karlsruhe.de> is an Apple IIgs application which can
create DOS and ProDOS order disk-images. Central Point's "Copy II+ 7.1"
also allows the creation of a proprietary disk-image format (this can be
converted into a standard disk-image on the Macintosh using "Image
Converter" by Lazarus I. Long).

5.1.3 Creating shrunk disk-images - "Shrunk" disk-images were not
originally intended for use with emulators, being a type of NuFX archive
created by ShrinkIt. As opposed to a standard .SHK file which usually
contains files, an .SDK file contains a whole compressed disk (for archival
or transfer purposes). This can be extracted to a disk-image under MSDOS or
Unix using "Nulib" by Andy McFadden <fadden@uts.amdahl.com> - and as such,
is a better method than creating a standard disk-image, since the .SDK file
is compressed for faster transfer. "Nulib" outputs a ProDOS order disk-
image. Although any version of ShrinkIt can create shrunk disk archives, it
is preferable to use ShrinkIt 3.0 and above (hence using a 128K //e, //c or
IIGS) since earlier versions (such as IIPLUS Shrinkit) don't prompt for a
disk-image title within the archive. Without a title, "Nulib" cannot
extract the (nameless) image from the .SDK archive.

5.2 Transferring Disk-Images
---
5.2.1 Creating and sending disk-images "on the fly" - In order to bypass
the problems with storing disk-images on the Apple, it is possible to
simultaneously create and send images via null-modem cable to a Macintosh,
PC, Amiga etc. This requires a serial card and at least one 5.25" drive on
the Apple. This process is intended for older Apples (those with actual
serial CARDS rather than PORTS). "Apple Disk Transfer v1.21" by Paul
Guertin <guertinp@iro.umontreal.ca> is a comprehensive package with MSDOS
and Apple ][ (DOS 3.3) executables to simplify transfer. "MacADT v121" by
Hideki Naito <pbc03243@niftyserve.or.jp> gives a Macintosh interface for
ADT. "][2Mac v1.1.1" by Adam van Gaalen <vangaalen@caiw.nl> is another
Macintosh/DOS 3.3 or CHE-DOS 3.4 package for transferring complete disk-
images. Another similar transfer program is "Senddisk" by Rich Williamson
<glitch@eskimo.com>, which also has a DOS 3.3 and MSDOS executable. "A2PCTR
v1.1" by Nye Liu <nyet@halycon.com> transfers a disk-image as a hex dump to
the MSDOS platform. The "Apple II Disk Transfer Utility PRO v2.0.6" by
Ronald W.H. Mak and Alan W.L. Siu is an integrated Apple II/MSDOS package
written in assembly. For further details consult the instructions included
with the relevant package.

5.2.2 Sending disk-images by modem/null-modem cable - With your disk-
image(s) created in Step One, there are several methods which can be used
to move them to your Macintosh, PC or Amiga. Using the serial card or port
on the Apple and a telecommunications package (see Section 5.6 in Part 3 of
"The Apple II Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)" guide for Apple comm
programs) send the image via null-modem cable to another computer, or via
modem to an Internet account, BBS, etc. The Apple //e and IIGS can be
networked to a Macintosh, allowing easy transferral of disk-images from the
Apple to a network volume.
The "][ in a Mac" emulator by COMPUTER:applications, Inc. also
possesses the ability to create ProDOS order disk-images via a null-modem
cable.

5.2.3 Transferring via disk to compatible drives - As mentioned earlier,
the standard PC 5.25" drive cannot read Apple ][ disks. However, all
Macintosh computers can read, write and format 3.5" ProDOS disks - with the
"ProDOS File System" extension, System 7.5 (with standard DOS-mounting
software) or Apple File Exchange installed. Since Macintosh Superdrives can
also read PC 3.5" floppies, disk-images can by easily transferred to MSDOS
computers. Alternatively, use a Macintosh LC which has the IIE card
attached. Place your 5.25" disk into the attached external drive and use
the "DSK2FILE" program under the emulator, specifying either the Macintosh
hard-drive, RAM, or the 3.5" floppy as the path. From there, take the
ProDOS 800K disk and insert it into the internal Macintosh drive.
For Apple //e, //c, IIGS compatibility with 3.5" drives and Macintosh
880K disks, check Q#37-45 in Part 2 of "COMP.SYS.APPLE2 - Frequently Asked
Questions".
Amiga owners with an Amiga 1020 5.25" disk-drive (or equivalent) can use
"Disk2File" by Ron Menelli <menelli@uiuc.edu> to read unprotected Apple
5.25" disks and create a standard disk-image. A 40 track drive is
recommended, although 80 track drives are supported. There MAY be problems
with drive-speed reading Apple ][ disks; this can be adjusted following
instructions appearing in the "1541.doc" file ("1541" allows Amiga 5.25"
drives to read C64 disks). "Disk2File" is included as part of the
"Apple2000" emulator package for the Amiga.
PROGRAM LOCATIONS:

5.2.4 Miscellaneous - If you don't have a serial card on your Apple, try
"Ap2222PC" by Clay Chang. This DOS 3.3 program will transfer disk and
sequential text files between the PC and Apple using the Apple game I/O
port, one 5.25" drive and the PC parallel port (use 48K DOS only!).
Alternatively, "Apl2serial" by Warren Toomey <wkt@csadfa.cs.adfa.oz.au>
contains details on connecting an Apple's cassette port output to a PC via
RS232 cable, as well as binary executables for creation/transfer. Or, use
"SoundReader" by Mike Kienenberger <SXMLK@ACAD3.ALASKA.EDU>, which
transmits binary data from an Apple to a NeXT via the audio ports on the
respective machines.

NOTE: It is a great deal easier to transfer disk-images from the
Macintosh or Amiga to the PC (via 720K or 1.44Mb DOS disks) than it is from
the Apple ][ straight to the PC (although there are hardware boards to
connect Apple 5.25" drives to the PC, they are rare). On the Macintosh,
use either PC Exchange software (which allows PC 720K and 1.44Mb disks to
be inserted into Mac HD disk-drives), Apple File Exchange, or System 7.5
(with standard DOS-mounting software). On the PC, use Macsee or Mac-Ette
(both Shareware) or Macindos, which all read 1.44Mb Macintosh disks. On the
Amiga, use Dos2Dos (KS 1.2/1.3) or CrossDOS (inbuilt KS/WB2.1) to read 720K
DOS disks in the Amiga 3.5" drive. NOTE: Macintosh 400/800K disks are NOT
compatible with either Amiga or PC drives. Always ensure Binary/Data
translation rather than MacBinary!

5.3 Making Copy-Protected Disk-Images
---
Super Saltine's Transcopy (SST) - A complete package for the expert disk-
image creator! The "Sst.readme" file contains the necessary instructions
(which are too detailed to repeat here). SST may not work on some
computers; a suggested fix from Bob Colbert <rcolbert@oasis.novia.net>
follows:
1) Boot the Dos 3.3 floppy with SST on it and get to the ] prompt
2) Type: CALL -151
3) Type: BLOAD SST
4) Type: 1F4E:EA
5) Type: BSAVE SST, A$B00, L$5500

5.4 Extracting Disk-Images
---
It is possible to convert a disk-image BACK to an Apple ][ 5.25" disk.
"UnImage v0.1" by Ivan Drucker <drucker@lclark.edu> will convert disk-
images back to disks. One of the options of "DSK2FILE v5.0" by Ron Kneusel
<rkneusel@post.its.mcw.edu> is to write an image file back to 5.25" floppy.
Alternatively, "DeImage v0.1" by Ivan Drucker extracts Applesoft and Binary
files from disk-images into ProDOS, although the process will only work
with standard DOS3.3 disks (ie. disks possessing a catalog). Finally,
"UnForkIt v0.1" also by Ivan Drucker converts forked files on ProDOS
volumes to one or two unforked files. These utilities all require the disk-
image to be on a mounted ProDOS volume. "Apple Disk Transfer 1.21" by Paul
Guertin <guertinp@iro.umontreal.ca> can transfer a disk-image from MSDOS or
Macintosh to a 5.25" Apple drive via null-modem cable. Finally, it is
possible to create a "shrunk" disk-image in reverse. Having reordered the
disk-image into ProDOS Order (if necessary), use "Nulib" (version 3.2 or
greater is required) to create a shrunk-disk (.sdk) archive. Transfer the
file back to the Apple and use ShrinkIt to decompress the image back to a
diskette.

6 - Disk-Image Formats & Conversion
-
---
6.1 Emulator Disk-Images
---
There are four main types of cross-platform disk-images. The most common
types - DO and PO (*.DSK), Nibble (*.NIB) and 2IMG (*.2MG) - will be found
on emulator FTP sites. The first three types are primarily intended for
transferring 8-bit Apple software on 5.25" disk. The IIgs emulator XGS uses
the 2IMG universal format (which may be easily converted to/from 800K
DiskCopy images). The other types are proprietary formats required by a
specific emulator, or created by a certain method of conversion. Since
these types are unlikely to be found on FTP sites, they are included for
completeness. In these cases, more information on the proprietary types can
be found in the documentation of the specific emulator package they are
designed for. There are a couple of disk-image types which have not been
listed here - these are generally "raw" disk-image formats as noted in
Section 2 - and these types are not capable of conversion into standard
disk-images. "Raw" disk-images of 5.25" disks will generally be 200-220K in
size.
THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS APPLY TO UNCOMPRESSED DISK-IMAGE FILES ONLY!
Disk-images with extensions such as *.gz, *.Z or *.zip are in compressed
format and must be extracted by the appropriate program prior to use. Disk-
images CAN be copied between platforms and they WILL work with a variety of
emulators. If in doubt ALWAYS ensure BINARY translation between platforms!
6.1.1 DOS3.3 Order (DO/*.DSK) - This image is 143360 bytes in size (143488
with MacBinary header). It usually has the *.DSK extension, but may also be
found with the *.DO extension as well. As suggested by the title, data is
stored track by track and sector by sector (Track 0, Sector 0 -> Track 22,
Sector 15) for a standard 1:1 copy of a 35 track, 16 sector DOS 3.3 disk
(256 bytes per sector). This is the most widely-used disk-image format for
8-bit emulators, and is easily translated into other formats. This format
is incapable of storing copy-protected software unless it has been
"cracked" first. A basic guide to determining what type is software may be
stored in a DO image is whether it can be first duplicated on an Apple with
standard copy utilities such as "copya".
On the MACINTOSH - Unlike the PC, which determines file-types by the
extension, the Macintosh adds a "resource header" to all files containing
file type and creator information (creating a "forked" file). Files stored
on Internet FTP sites, or transferred from a Unix or PC platform, will
generally not contain this resource header. As such, the disk-image will
not appear as a file usuable by any of the Macintosh emulators. It is a
(relatively) simple case to change the File Type and File Creator
information to "register" the disk-images to belong to a certain emulator.
The relevant disk-image File Type and Creator information is displayed in
the reviews of each Macintosh emulator in Section 2. For example, to use
this format with Stop The Madness, ensure that the file is downloaded or
transferred in binary - not Macbinary - mode (and is 143360 bytes). STM
will *NOT* recognize the disk-image unless it has the correct file
type/creator, even if it is of the correct size and is a binary file. Set
the file type to 'DSK5' and the creator to 'A2EM' using ResEdit, UUlite,
etc. Alternatively "Drop?Disk" is a drag-and-drop application which
automatically converts the file type and creator of disk-images for use
with STM. For the other Macintosh emulators, a useful utility to bulk-
change resource information is the "Snitch" extension by Mitch Jones
<mjones@netcom.com>, which adds resource functionality to the Finder's "Get
Info" window. Simply select a number of disk-image files, do a simultaneous
"Get Info" command and change the active window's resource information.
Then select "Change All" from Snitch's menu.
There are a number of utilities for the Macintosh which modify to and from
ProDOS Order disk-images: "Easy.STM Convert.1.0" by Jim Surine
<xevious@holonet.net>, "Aconv v1.0" by Dan Bornstein and "Converter" will
reorder PO disk-image sectors into the DO type used by STM. To re-order the
sectors into ProDOS order, use "DOS Order Converter" by Rene Gaudet
<reneg@cpqhou.compaq.com> or "ProDOS-Order Converter" (the "mapper"
algorithm automatically reorders between the two formats).

ftp://ftp.apple.asimov.net/pub/apple_II/utility/ProDOSOrderConv.sit.bin
On the PC - The PC simply determines file-type by extension (although the
emulators themselves may do some checking with regard to correct file
size). To use this format with all of the PC emulators, ensure that the
file is downloaded or transferred in binary mode (and is 143360 bytes) and
that it has an eight character filename and *.DSK extension. The current
version of Apl2Em requires that the D1 and D2 disk-images have default
names (usually SYSTEM.DSK and BLANK.DSK respectively), so you will have to
rename your disk-image files to use them. Applewin can actually read *.DSK
files of 143488 bytes (MacBinary files with the *BIN extension) but for
compatibility with other emulators it is better to translate the files
correctly prior to use - see Section 4. No other form of conversion is
necessary.
6.1.2 ProDOS Order (PO/*.DSK) - This image is 143360 bytes in size (143488
with MacBinary header). It usually has the *.DSK extension, but may also be
found with the *.PO extension as well. This disk-image stores data in block
rather than track/sector format (block 0, block 1 -> block 279) - the
difference in the structure is due to ProDOS interleaving data in blocks
(which equal two DOS sectors). Although newer emulators are capable of
distinguishing between DO and PO (and thus using both) older emulators
strictly require the DO type despite the identical size. ProDOS Order
images are still useful since they are capable of being converted back into
SDK images by "Nulib" (which are compatible with ShrinkIt on the Apple). DO
images are not capable of this. PO is an older disk-image format (used more
widely with Unix emulators, since ShrinkIt archives extracted by "Nulib"
produce PO images). Like DO, this format is incapable of storing copy-
protected software unless it has been "cracked" first. A basic guide to
determining what type is software may be stored in a PO image is whether it
can be first duplicated on an Apple with standard copy utilities such as
"copya".
On the MACINTOSH - The file must be downloaded in binary mode. None of the
Macintosh emulators really use the PO format, except for "][ In a Mac",
which uses images of non-standard size. To use this format with "][ In a
Mac", drop a DO or Copy II+ 7.1 image file onto "Image Converter" by
Lazarus I. Long and select the required format; output images will have the
correct resource information. The application "Easy Convert" will re-order
the sectors of a PO disk-image into DOS3.3 Order, and will automatically
set the file type/creator attributes upon output to 'DSK5'/'A2EM' for use
with STM. Alternatively, use "ProDOS-Order Converter".

emulators such as AppleWin support them). Use "Mapper" by Rene Gaudet
<reneg@cpqhou.compaq.com> to convert DO to PO and vice versa.
PROGRAM LOCATIONS:
ftp://ftp.apple.asimov.net/pub/apple_II/utility/mapper.zip
6.1.3 Nibble DOS3.3 Order (NDO/*.NIB) - This image is 232960 bytes in size,
and it usually has the *.NIB extension. According to the original "Apple2
Emulation Frequently Asked Questions" guide, "every three bytes of data
have been 'bit twiddled' into four bytes, and each sector has an 'address
field' that has the track and sector numbers." The format was originally
used solely in the "ApplEmu" emulator before becoming widely used to store
copy-protected software. The conversion utilities listed below are solely
for use with "ApplEmu" images containing standard software! NDO images rely
on the extra space to store non-standard track information which would
otherwise be lost in a DO or PO image. With newer emulators such as
AppleWin and ApplePC, NDO can be used to store copy-protected or non-
standard Apple disk-images (created by SST - see "Super Saltines Transcopy"
in Section 5.3).
On the MACINTOSH - There is currently no way to convert either from or to
NDO on the Macintosh. NDO images are used by the "Catakig" emulator (File
Creator: 'Ctkg', File Type: 'A2D5')
On the PC - To convert PO disk-images to NDO (for use with ApplEmu), use
"Em2Emu" by Tom Baker <tombaker@world.std.com>. To convert NDO back to DO
use "Emu2Em" by Dan Scholnik <dpscholn@mtu.edu> to re-order this format
back into the "standard" 143360 size. AppleEmu can run NDO images
containing copy-protected software without conversion. Newer emulators
support multiple disk-images types but will support all NDO types
containing standard software.

6.1.4 2IMG Universal Format (2IMG/*.2MG) - This image is usually 800K in
size, and is a proprietary format used by the XGS multi-platform IIgs
emulator as well as Bernie ][ The Rescue on the Macintosh. It usually has
the *.2MG extension. The size of the image is due to fact it contains a
copy of an 800K 3.5" disk (usually ProDOS) rather than a single density
5.25" disk (although these may also be imported into 2IMG format by the
utilities below). The format is primarily created by converting a ProDOS
800K disk into a DiskCopy image on a Macintosh, and then using the XGS
"Image" utilities by Matthew Conte <itsbroke@ix.netcom.com>, or "Revival"
by Thomas Fok <thomas@glink.net.hk>. "Revival" can also convert DOS 3.3
Ordered, ProDOS Ordered, and ApplePC HDV images into 2IMG format. The 2IMG
format is explained at:

6.1.5 Apple II For Windows (A4W/*.A4W) - This image is 143388 bytes in
size, and is a proprietary format used solely by the Apple II Emulator for
Windows. According to the "Apple II Emulator for Windows" help file this
format adds a file header separated from the data section of the disk-image
by two bytes with value 26 (1Ah). This binary format is used to store non
copy-protected images. This format is used solely by the Apple II Emulator
for Windows, and is recognised by a .A4W extension. Since no FTP sites
store disk-images in A4W format, there is currently no need for a program
to convert A4W back to DO or NDO formats.
On the MACINTOSH - There is currently no way to convert either from or to
A4W on the Macintosh.
On the PC - Follow the instructions under the 'Disk II Diskette File
Format' heading in the "Apple II Emulator for Windows" help file.
6.1.6 TrackStore (*.APP) - This is a proprietary format created by the
TrackStar Card for the PC, which can read actual Apple disks. The image can
store either 40 or 80 tracks (the 80 track version is similar to NDO
images, allowing information for duplicating protected software).
6.1.7 Dalton Disk Disintegrator (DDD) - DDD is compression utility on the
Apple, capable of archiving both files and entire disks. The Apple 2000
emulator on the Amiga can decompress and compress DDD disk-images (allowing
compatibility with the Apple). Further information on this format is
available in the "Apple 2000.doc" file included with the Apple 2000
package. DDD disk archives are not compatible with ShrinkIt SDK disk
archives.
6.1.8 SimIIe (IIE/*.IIE) - This image is generally 143390 bytes in size,
and is a proprietary format used solely by the SimSystem IIE emulator.
According to "SIMIIE.DOC" this format adds a 30 byte header to the binary
and GCR disk-images (none of the other formats possess a header) and
adjusts the interleaving of the binary disk-image from DOS3.3 to raw
hardware format. This image can also store GCR format - "disk data in its
purest GCR encoded format, the same way it is stored on a real Apple
II...which makes this format suitable for many copy-protection methods used
on Apple II products." GCR format files will vary in length - usually
greater than 200K. Since no FTP sites store disk-images in IIE format,
there is currently no need for a program to convert IIE back to DO or NDO
formats.
On the MACINTOSH - There is currently no way to convert either from or to
IIE on the Macintosh.
On the PC - Use "Dsk2iie" to convert disks from DO format to IIE format.
SimIIe utilities, including "dsk2iie", are available in the "sim2du10.zip"
archive released by Galen C. Hunt <gchunt@cc.dixie.edu>.
PROGRAM LOCATIONS:
ftp://ftp.apple.asimov.net/pub/apple_II/emulators/simiie/sim2du10.zip
(contains "dsk2iie")
6.1.9 Copy II+ 7.1 Image (IMG/*.IMG) - This image is 143360 bytes in size.
It is not compatible with DO or PO disks of equivalent size. This format is
created using Central Point's Copy II+ 7.1, and selecting 'Copy', 'Disk',
and then any 5.25" source drive to any 3.5" target drive or RAM volume.
Copy II+ will then prompt for an image filename. For some reason ONLY Copy
II+ version 7.1 possesses the ability to write disk-images (both earlier
and later versions lack this feature).
On the MACINTOSH - This image can be converted into a standard disk-image
on the Macintosh using "Image Converter" by Lazarus I. Long. "Image
Converter" can also turn standard DO and PO images into *.IMG for
transferring disks back to the Apple.
PROGRAM LOCATIONS:
ftp://ftp.apple.asimov.net/pub/apple_II/utility/ic.sit
6.1.10 XGS Format (XGS/*.XGS) - This image is usually 800K in size
(identical to the newer 2IMG format), and is the older proprietary format
used by the earlier versions of XGS. It has been superseded by the 2IMG
Universal Format. It usually has the *.XGS extension. XGS images can be
easily converted into 2IMG format using the XGS "Image" utilities by
Matthew Conte <itsbroke@ix.netcom.com>, or "Revival" by Thomas Fok
<thomas@glink.net.hk>.

http://www.glink.net.hk/~thomas/revival.htm
6.1.11 "Raw" Disk-Images (*.DISK) - There are a couple of disk-image types
which have not been listed here - these are generally "raw" disk-image
formats with no compression as used by some of the emulators in Section 2 -
and these types are not capable of conversion into standard disk-images.
"Raw" disk-images of 5.25" disks will generally be 200-220K in size.
According to the "Apple 2000.doc" file included with the Apple 2000
emulator, "raw" disk-images are capable of storing images of non-DOS and
copy-protected disks.
6.1.12 Apple Program Files (*.PROG) - Unlike disk-images, which simulate
the structure of an Apple disk, some emulators are capable of running Apple
software without the disk-image itself. The "Apple 2000" emulator on the
Amiga does this with single executable files (so software with multiple
data files will not work). Filenames with a *.PROG suffix become executable
files; these are single files that were runnable from Apple DOS 3.3/ProDOS
and did not require any disk access thereafter. These files now do not even
require booting any Apple disk and are simply loaded into the appropriate
Apple memory areas and instantly started. Alternatively, the Linux "ProDOS
Emulator" uses a directory on the Unix system as a simulated drive (Slot 7,
Drive 1) - thus eliminating the need for disk-images. With the ProDOS files
(such as BASIC.SYSTEM or SHRINKIT) in the same directory as the emulator;
the current directory appears within the emulator as a disk named /UNIX at
S7,D1.
---
6.2 Distribution Disk-Images
---
The disk-image concept is used for a variety of tasks beyond emulation.
Mainly, they are used for software distribution since, unlike compressed
archives, disk-images can retain additional information such as file
allocation (FAT files on PC disks) and icon placement (on Macintosh disks).
Disks duplicated from an image are identical to the original, not mere
copies. The following types of distribution images are not directly
intended for emulation purposes.
6.2.1 ShrinkIt (*.SDK) - "Shrunk" disk-images were not originally intended
for use with emulators, being a type of NuFX archive created by ShrinkIt.
As opposed to a standard .SHK file which usually contains files, an .SDK
file contains a whole compressed disk (for archival or transfer purposes).
Unlike the similar Dalton Disk Disintegrator (DDD) archive, SDK images
cannot be used directly with an emulator. The SDK image can be extracted to
a disk-image under MSDOS or Unix using "Nulib" by Andy McFadden
<fadden@uts.amdahl.com>.

ftp://ftp.apple.asimov.net/pub/apple_II/utility/shrinkit34.sdk
6.2.2 Apple DiskCopy (*.DC) - Excerpted from "Dealing with Disk Images"
available on the Apple Computer WWW site: "Disk Copy is an application
program that creates reliable exact copies of floppy disks from a 3.5-inch
master disk or from a disk image file on your hard disk. Disk Copy is used
both to create the image files from a master floppy disk, and to create
duplicate floppy disks from those image files. Although there is some
similarity between disks duplicated from disk images and disks copied by
dragging icons, the results are not identical. Floppy disks created from
image files are exact duplicates, including the exact icon placement,
appearance of all windows, and the correct name of the disk." Usually Apple
System Software is distributed in this format.
DiskCopy images can contain MacOS, ProDOS and MS-DOS disks of 800K and
1.44Mb size. ProDOS DiskCopy images (usually 800K) are compatible with a
number of emulators including Bernie ][ The Rescue, IIe, and XGS.

DOS/Microsoft Windows equivalents of the Apple DiskCopy program. WinImage
files can contain 720K and 1.44Mb MS-DOS disks, and 1.44Mb MacOS disks, and
are not compatible with DiskCopy. They are not used in any emulators.

7 - Working With Disk-Images
-
---
7.1 Adding/Removing Files
---
Applications exist which allow the incorporation of single DOS 3.3 files
or compressed archives - such as those found on "pure" Apple ][ FTP sites
or in the Apple binary newsgroup - into existing or new disk-images.
Programs such as "dsk_in" and "dsk_out" by Tom Baker
<tombaker@world.std.com> and "VIEWDISK" and can write Apple files into
disk-images, and extract same to MSDOS files. The "Apple2 Dos Utility
Package v1.0" by William Night <wnight@wimsey.com> contains MSDOS
executables for "DosStrip" and "DFormat" to copy a disk's DOS and format
other disk-images with that DOS (useful for removing or replacing DOS 3.3),
as well as "DiskRead" and "DiskWrit" which read and write files for disk-
images. For Windows users, try "A2DSK v001" (includes source) by Jeff
Miller <miller@zipcon.net>. On the Macintosh, "Apple ][ DOS 3.3 Utility
v1.0.0" and "A2 Disk Edit v1.1.0" by Hideki Naito
<pbc03243@niftyserve.or.jp> offer the ability to transfer different types
of Basic (binary and Applesoft) files as well as text files. "Image2File
v1.2" is another Macintosh utility by Ron Kneusel
<rkneusel@post.its.mcw.edu> which can read Dos, ProDOS and Pascal DO and PO
images. For SimSystem disk-images, use "aftp" by Galen C. Hunt
<gchunt@cc.dixie.edu> which browses, extracts and adds files to SimIIe disk
(*.IIE) and hard-disk volumes (*.HDV) - part of the "sim2du10" archive. The
SST package contains ANSI C, MSDOS and Amiga executables for "Extract", a
file which extracts binary files from disk-images. "Extract 2" by Bob
Colbert <rcolbert@oasis.novia.net> is a newer version of the MS-DOS
executable. Amiga users can also use "afid" by George Phillips
<phillips@cs.ubc.ca> on DOS3.3 disk-images to catalog, read and write files
(also available in C source code). "afid" is included as part of the
"Apple2000" emulator package for the Amiga. By the same author, "udisk" is
a program (in C source code) which can read files from ProDOS and C64 1541
disk-images. "LibA2 v0.003" by Christopher J. Madsen <ac608@yfn.ysu.edu> is
a perl module/script beta release of end-user utilities and library modules
for accessing files on ProDOS disk-images.
These applications are of vital use to use who do not possess the ability
to make disk-images on an original Apple ][; finding a single Apple file on
an FTP site and using it with an emulator is no longer an insurmountable
problem. Unfortunately, all of the utilities described above (except
"LibA2" and "udisk") are designed only for DOS 3.3 disks and will not work
on ProDOS volumes.

7.2 Cataloging
---
To find out the contents of a disk-image without running an emulator, try
"catalogger" by Kevin Lund <kevin@locutus.ucr.edu> on the Macintosh or
"dsk_cat.zip" on the PC. For SimIIe disk-images, use "aftp" by Galen C.
Hunt <gchunt@cc.dixie.edu> - part of the "sim2du10" archive. The SST
package contains ANSI C, MSDOS and Amiga executables for "CATALOG", a file
which catalogs standard DOS 3.3 images. Amiga users can also use "afid" by
George Phillips <phillips@cs.ubc.ca> on DOS3.3 disk-images to catalog, read
and write files (also available in C source code). "Afid" is included as
part of the "Apple2000" emulator package for the Amiga. "LibA2 v0.003" by
Christopher J. Madsen <ac608@yfn.ysu.edu> is a perl module/script beta
release of end-user utilities and library modules for accessing files on
ProDOS disk-images.

8 - Apple DOS/ProDOS Commands
-
These commands are intended for use with disk-images which contain either
DOS 3.3 or any version of ProDOS. "Changing" the disk-image is equivalent
to physically removing a disk from the Apple 5.25" or 3.5" drive and
replacing it with another. As such, there is no DOS command to "change" a
disk-image - it is a function integral to the emulator you are using (a
menu command, icon or key equivalent)... Most disks use custom DOS
(especially games) and will automatically boot when the computer is
switched on or reset. If it comes up with a "*" prompt after boot, it means
that DOS on that disk(-image) is bad, and the computer (or emulator) has
entered the Assembly Language Monitor.
"All disk-related operations are controlled by a special program called the
DISK OPERATING SYSTEM, or DOS. BASIC transmits requests to DOS for any
operation involving the disk. The DOS returns the results to BASIC."
('Apple II User's Guide' p.164) Several versions of DOS exist for the
Apple. DOS 3.2 used 13 sector per disk; DOS 3.3 used 16. Filenames under
DOS 3.3 could be from 1 to 30 characters in length (comprising any
uppercase keyboard character - including spaces and excepting commas). DOS
3.3 cannot accept lower-case commands (so remember to press CAPS LOCK on
][+ machines and emulators) and does not support sub-directories. ProDOS
similarly uses uppercase filenames but they are restricted to 15
characters, lowercase commands and sub-directories are accepted. Both DOS
3.3 and ProDOS use the "]" prompt. DOS 3.3 also uses the ">" prompt for
Integer BASIC programs.

II DOS & Commands FAQ" by Nathan Mates <nathan@visi.com>.

A partial list of commands follows:
BLOAD - Loads a machine language (binary) file.
BRUN - Executes a machine language (binary) file.
BSAVE - Saves a machine language (binary) file.
BYE (ProDOS only) - Exits BASIC.SYSTEM.
CAT (ProDOS only) - Abbreviated 40-column catalog giving a list of files,
file type, size in blocks and last modification date. Some common ProDOS
file type are given below:
SYS - System executable
TXT - Text file
BAS - Applesoft BASIC program (executable)
BIN - Machine language (binary) file
CATALOG - Under ProDOS, it provides an 80-column listing giving a list of
files, file type, size in blocks, modification and creation dates,
endfile data and subtype. Under DOS 3.3 it produces a list of files, file
type, size in sectors (1 - 255) and disk label. Common DOS 3.3 file types
are given below:
A - AppleSoft BASIC programs
B - Binary image (machine language) files
I - Integer BASIC programs
T - Text files
R - Relocatable binary
S - Source
* - File is locked (protected from modification/deletion)
CREATE (ProDOS only) - Creates sub-directories.
DELETE - Deletes UNLOCKED files. The command can specify slot, drive or
volume number (DOS 3.3) or volume prefix (ProDOS); otherwise it assumes
the file is in the current directory.
EXEC - Executes a text file; any text file containing a BASIC program will
be automatically input as though it was typed. Direct commands will be
executed. Thus BASIC programs can be more easily entered into a text-
editor and then EXECuted on an Apple, and then saved.
INIT - Initializes a disk under DOS 3.3, with a greeting program of choice
(typically named HELLO). Usage INIT HELLO.
LOAD - Loads an AppleSoft BASIC (or Integer BASIC under DOS 3.3) file.
LOCK - Locks a file.
PREFIX (ProDOS only) - Changes sub-directory.
RENAME - Renames files. Usage RENAME OLDNAME,NEWNAME under DOS 3.3.
RUN - Executes an AppleSoft or Integer BASIC program under DOS 3.3;
AppleSoft only under ProDOS (which does not support Integer BASIC). To
execute any ProDOS filetype, use the "-" character instead of RUN or
BRUN.
SAVE - Saves an AppleSoft BASIC file. Since it is saved into a "tokenised"
format (ie. AppleSoft reserved words are replaced by ASCII codes or
"tokens") the BASIC files are not plain text. To reverse the EXEC command
and produce a plain text copy of a BASIC file; place the following line
in the BASIC program and RUN:
0 TEXT:PRINT CHR$(21):HOME:POKE 33,33:PRINT CHR$(4);"OPEN
filename.txt":PRINT CHR$(4);"WRITE filename.txt":LIST 1,63999:PRINT
CHR$(4);"CLOSE filename.txt":TEXT:END (suggested by Dave Althoff, Jr.
<dalloff@freenet.columbus.oh.us>).
UNLOCK - Unlocks the file.
VERIFY - Verifies file (under DOS 3.3, it recalculates the checksum for
each sector of the file).
